Track time - rip - off?

[pddmac]

I recently made a trip to the well known air field and proving ground(?) well that's how they describe it, and besides meeting an aquaintance there i discovered that i could , for the sum of ( if i remember correctly) 117,5 pounds or there abouts (sorry no pounds sign- Deutsch keyboard!) i could thrash my Cerbera up and down and round their bit of old concrete for 2 hours.
Well, i thought that a little steep, as i know that just down the road from where i live i can do the same arround the legendary Nordschliefe circuit (that's in the Eifel) , for about 15 quid. As this is a real track , with cambers all over the place and gradient i know which i would prefer and of course i know this is the price for a single flying lap which should take 7- 8 mins. Nevertheless, i still consider the price at Bruntingthorpe a swindle when it isn't really a track , is it? lets be honest. (i know McClaren are supposed to test there!!!!)
Anyway that's off my chest, over to you......

You should be able to get Bruntingthorpe on an "open day" for £35 for 1/2 a day session.......!

Really? It costs us £25+VAT per car per hour for testing.

I use the A34 and its free.

When they put a toll &/or a Talivan on the A34, we're coming for you, Tuffer

When you compete on the short course at Curborough, you generally get 4 runs (2 practice + 2 competitive) for your days sport. That's 900yards x 4 = 2.05 miles for about £60. Approx £30/mile. That's value for money.... Whay do I do this?......

About £9 a lap. But being local, like any responsible PHer you will already have a Jahreskarte annual pass costing you less than £500 a year!!!!
